Gisborne

(From our own correspondent.) June 11. The. mission conducted by the Marist Missioners (Fathers Ainsworth and McCarthy) was concluded on last Sunday evening. The success of the mission has been most gratifying to Father Lane (pastor of the district) and also to the zealous missioners. The closing sermon was preached by Father Ainsworth, in the presence of a crowded congregation. After the renewal of baptismal vows, the papal, blessing was given, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Father Lane, on his own behalf, and on that of the parishioners, very sincerely thanked the missioners for their untiring labors. The fact that 1135 members of the congregation had approached the Holy Table was eloquent proof of the good work accomplished in Gisborne during the course of what was, undoubted a memorable mission. % j Adding ton During the recent opening ceremony of the new Catholic school at Addington, a handsome enlarged photo of the late Daniel .Campbell was unveiled. His Lordship Bishop Brodie, referring to the deceased, said his memory was honored by clergy and people alike, and the late Mr. Campbell would ever be remembered for his kindly acts by the people of Addington. The Very Rev.. Dr. Kennedy, Adm., also spoke of the deceased gentleman's goodness to the Church and school, and he presented to Mr. Campbell's widow and children a photo similar to that which his Lordship had just unveiled. ■="''■■'■-' ~ . . . v i.{: Mr. P.
